/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • Yugoslavia evaporated the instant the USSR wasn't around, they needed them to provide an umbrella from the West and without that buffer they imploded violently.

  • I think SocDems had a historically progressive role in the hyperreactionary landscape of the US. Before Bernie, "socialist" was a pejorative. Now it's a lot more complicated, we can actually talk about socialism now without being written off and liberals are calling themselves socialists to win elections. Also, in Iowa especially I can use Bernie getting ratfucked out of the race to pull people away from Dems, because they so obviously destroyed the caucus to hand a win to a loser nobody like Mayo Pete.

    They've outlived their shelf-life, though. Mamdani is now actually to the right of where a lot of USAmericans are on police and on Israel; he holds progress back every time he pointlessly compromises with Democrats and the NYPD and the Zionist lobby

  • One of those laws of development being dialectics - repression creates resistance, resistance creates repression. If we're being repressed it's because they need to repress us to sustain the contradictions, and the very act of being repressed radicalizes the repressed. It is an irreversible trend: more repression, more resistance, more repression, more resistance, etc etc. Nothing I can ever say to my family at Christmas will ever them to turn against the ruling class, but the actions by our ruling class absolutely can.

  • History tells us that it's more complicated.

    In the Russian revolution the Tsar sent his soldiers to stop the Bolsheviks and it turned them against him. Soldiers don't like being told to kill their own people, even when they're in open revolt. Race makes this more complicated, but in a lot of different ways that are hard to predict. I'd expect desertions (and, eventually, fraggings) if Trump actually ordered the troops to open fire.

  • There's no legal process.

  • Yeah, that's the point.

    So, why not take the bet? Taking their money should be easy. Don't you like having easy money?

  • Gooners never coom.

  • So it should be easy money, right?

  • Black Hawk Bridge? Why, it's been gone for 30 years! In fact, tonight is the anniversary...

  • There are certainly animal rights groups and environmental groups which practice veganism, but that seems different.

  • ... tbh I though his skin just looked weird lol

  • Eh

    There isn't a movement. We're all just individuals making personal choices. It's not like we meet up on Sundays to have vegan cookouts, talk about vegan politics, arrange vegan debates, and set the vegan agenda. We're just vibin

  • The multiple near-collisions with US military jets make me think they just want to generate a Gulf of Tonkin incident first.
